Poplar

Generally straight grained and “woolly” with a fine, even texture. Creamy-white to pale brown heartwood and sapwood. Most species are typically soft and light with low ratings for strength, stiffness, shock resistance, decay resistance, and steam bending. Moderate movement in service.Works easily with hand or machine tools but sharp edges recommended. Glues, screws and nails well. Staining can be patchy but paints and varnish are easily applied.
